The Easter season is an exciting time; the changing of the seasons, and the revitalizing energy it brings, is an age-old celebration. Though snow still covers the streets and the weather once again cooled off, birds are chirping and the upcoming melt grows more promising.
Medstead School handed out report cards before dismissal on March 29. The school was closed for Good Friday. Students started their 10-day break from school before the final haul leading to summer. Senior students were bid adieu as they left for their journey to Italy, a way to expand the horizons of the local youth.
Many local amenities such as the post office, bank and store closed, or had adjusted hours, for the Easter weekend. The village was quiet as families gathered to their respective holiday traditions.

While many may consider equinox to be the commencement of spring, those living in the northern climate know that spring starts on its own schedule.
